The movie nonetheless can't sustain the thin interest of a man's obsession with outlaw fellatio.

| Original Score: C | Sep 24, 2007

This strange little movie is a mixed bag, hard to eagerly recommend but also hard to completely dismiss.

a fun and unique movie that isn't soon forgotten

Candor wins points almost anywhere, and that's what Zahedi has, in spades.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 15, 2006

Even if you can keep it in your pants, you'll be tickled and intrigued by Zahedi's look at why he couldn't.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 15, 2006

At 98 minutes, Addict demands an investment not repaid by its basic unpleasantness.

| May 25, 2006

Self-involved and self-indulgent. It's almost as if [Zahedi] made the movie for himself, for his loved ones and for no one else.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 19, 2006

Making this confessional film may have been therapeutic for Zahedi, but it's pure torture for an audience.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 19, 2006

Zahedi is wry and certainly fearless as he pours his sex life onto the screen, but around the ninth time he goes cruising for prostitutes it gets a little hard to take.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 19, 2006

Zahedi pulls off the difficult trick of making you despise, pity and admire him. You get the feeling it's been much the same for the women in his life.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 18, 2006

I kinda don't wanna burst Zahedi's bubble, because at least he's being open and exploratory and honest about how infatuated with himself he is, which is more than can be said for most men, but still: Bwahahaha, get over yourself, dude.

| May 11, 2006

The narrowness of [Zahedi's] sexual repertoire is the springboard for a charming and boundless homemade sort of filmmaking.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 5, 2006

... the film's flaws stem from 'TMZ' -- too much Zahedi.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 28, 2006

... Zahedi tries to construct a narrative from his epic bad behavior, presumably for the purpose of shedding light on something. What this is remains mysterious after a single viewing, but not so mysterious as to inspire a second.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 28, 2006

... while some may bail early, those who stay to the end are likely to dwell on Zahedi's unwavering (some would say unrelenting) belief in his own artistry, as well as the film's many funny, quotable lines ...

| Apr 27, 2006

Consequently, I Am a Sex Addict is ruthlessly frank in its freakish frivolity and absurdly lyrical in the grubby ramblings of its professed and confused cad.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 26, 2006

The filmmaker's ability to at once mock himself and consider his dilemma with compassion transforms an otherwise smarmy tale into something honest and insightful.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 21, 2006

Zahedi isn't afraid to put himself out there, even when his thoughts and actions are profoundly unflattering.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Apr 20, 2006

Zahedi demonstrates that he's a diary-film maker who can transcend confession -- and its lurid cousin, exhibitionism, too.

| Original Score: B | Apr 19, 2006
